Abstract
A plier-type can opener has two arms 1, 2 that are pivotally connected to one another. The rotatable parts required for the can opener to cut open a lid of a can and to advance the can are combined into preassembled units that are mountable to the arms. The rotatable parts include a cutting wheel 5, a feed wheel 7, a turning handle 4 and toothed wheels 6, 8. The rotatable parts included in the units are respectively mounted in respective cutouts on the arms 1, 2. The cutouts open toward each other and are provided on an inside edge portion of each arm so that after the units are pressed into respective cutouts, then during use of the can opener when the arms are closed to open a can, the closing of the arms enhances retention of the units in their respective cutouts.
